Network Expect Script square bracket dollar prompt
Hi

Thanks for this amazing forum first, I've been searching answers in it for problems that I've encountered at work.

The only problem I haven't been able to find a fix for, is a ever waiting for prompt problem in Expect when encounter a [whatever]$ prompt.

I usually set the timeout to -1 cause the script runs faster if every string I wrote at it match's but I have problems with the prompt referred above.

Id tried to "set mpt "\$" and then expect -- "$mpt" or
"set mpt "\]\$" or simple "expect -- *\]\$?]" and non of them worked.

Does anyone had similar problems?

Thanks in advance for any help.

NAME

       uligo - tsumego (go problems) practice tool

SYNOPSIS

       uligo

DESCRIPTION

       To  get	stronger  at  go, it is essential to develop one's reading ability. That is why professionals recommend to study life and death or
       tesuji problems.  uliGo is a program that allows you to do that: basically, the computer displays a problem, and asks for the  answer.  You
       enter the first move, the computer responds, and so on until you reach the final solution or enter a wrong move.

USAGE

       The  basic  operation of uliGo is simple. Click the right arrow to view a problem, and then click where you think the right answer is.  The
       Documentation item in the Help menu contains the full documentation for uliGo, such as configuring the timer or the order the  tsumego  are
       displayed in.

       By default, problems are presented in random order, with the colors and orientation of the problem randomly chosen.

FILES

       ~/.uligo
	      This directory stores information about how many problems you've solved, and SGF files you've downloaded yourself.

AUTHOR

       Ulrich  Goertz  <uligo@g0ertz.de>  is the author of uliGo. Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org> wrote this manual page for the Debian operating
       system, but it may be used by others.

SEE ALSO

       The uliGo website at http://www.u-go.net/uligo/ contains more (unclearly licensed) problems sets that cannot be included  with  the  Debian
       package.
